I thoroughly enjoy encouraging others to create and I tutor various art workshops and courses for beginner to experienced as well as private tuition sessions for individuals. Besides running various workshops, creative breaks and independent classes I also teach several regular weekly adult classes around the York area. I also give illustrated talks to (art and non-art) groups on various topics including creativity and innovation, art appreciation and different art techniques. Contact me for availability and rates.

I believe that misunderstanding a key concept ­frequently prevents an aspiring artist from ­developing their skills beyond a certain level or may indeed cause them to abandon their creative hopes in frustration. I am ­known for my clear and jargon-free presentation style and for getting my ­message across in a friendly, supportive, non-patronising & ­lively manner.  I conduct workshops, courses, demonstrations and presentations on various mediums and subjects including sketching, drawing, watercolour, watersoluble pencil & mixed media.
